It's all part of the boundary-defying venture of these four innovative young players, who in addition to maintaining a claim on the mainstream classical repertoire have worked together on cross-cultural, cross-genre projects such as Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble. They're hip in a geeky Brooklyn way (suspenders, facial hair). They're passionate and knowledgeable about art: their ensemble's name makes reference to the Blue Rider group in expressionist painting nearly a century ago. They do shows in clubs, galleries, and the occasional Buddhist temple. Everyone but the cellist plays standing up, and when the music calls for it, they dig into their instruments with the exuberance of racehorses let out of the barn. On March 11th, you will be treated to a program that showcases their versatility and incredible musicianship.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; min-height: 18px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; min-height: 18px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "><b>Jacobson</b> — Achilles Heel</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "><b>Glass</b> — String Quartet No. 2 “Company”</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "><b>Yanov-Yanovsky</b> — …al niente</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "><b>Debussy</b> — String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; min-height: 18px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; min-height: 18px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="5" style="font: normal normal normal 20px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "><b>Purchase Tickets Today - This is where you want to be on March 11th!</b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; min-height: 18px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; ">For tickets, visit<a href="www.AkronArtMuseum.org">www.AkronArtMuseum.org</a> or call 330.376.9185</font></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; "> To learn more about Brooklyn Rider, visit <a href="www.brooklynrider.com">www.brooklynrider.com</a></font></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Myriad Pro" size="4" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Myriad Pro'; ">or <a href="http://www.clevelandclassical.com">www.clevelandclassical.com</a> to read Mike Telin’s recent interview with the cellist Eric Jacobsen.</font></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
